Petition

Stop the Decriminalisation of Abortion in England and Wales: Protect the Unborn

Rejected 9 signatures

What the petition asks

We urge the government not to pass the abortion decriminalisation amendment. It removes legal safeguards, puts unborn lives at risk, and sends a harmful message about the value of life.
We believe this law is harmful as it removes vital safeguards and allows irreversible decisions to go unchecked. It diminishes the seriousness of ending a life and conflicts with the fundamental right to life, a right this law primarily denies unborn children.
